One Kind Of Recalling.

And how few persons who can devote
but nm hour or half an hour day to read
ing and study take due thought a. 10 how
they can make the most of their little leis-
ure. They read in (esultory way what
ever comes to hand, and think that If they
had more time for books they would soon
become much better informed. But the
half hour II day, II used in the wisest man
ner, would make vast difference In ones
mental growth as the mouths and years
glide by.
An incident occurs to me that we'll H.
lutrates this. A pretty maiden hair fern
growing in n flower not was given to a
young girl hopelessly i'll with spinal dis
ease. II proved thing of beauty aud OF
inexhaustible interest, as the delicate,
graceful trOnds came up one by one and
slowly uncurled. There was a little pot
beside the fern aud under its SPREADING
fronds in which grew an aloe. BY and by
the sick girl noticed in the little pot sou G
tiny ferns scarce an inch high quite uD.
like the maiden hair. Whence came they
Her interest was aroused. She was no
botanist, but she wanted to learn some
thing about ferns. She could use her eyes
for reading but five minutes at q
time and not more than twice a day A
hook on ferns came to her, and another
and another. Friends, knowing her in
terest in ferns, brought them to her fresh
and green from the woods or sent her
pressed specimens Of rare val. cites gath
cred in distant lands. Sometimes a visitor
would read TO her from one of her precious
books, but only for four or five minutes.
81 cannot remember more at a time, she
would say, and you have read enough
for me TO think about for long time"
II is now some years since the maiden
hair fern was given to her, and she has be-
come an authority as to the species and
culture Of ferns and is an enthusiast in
regard to them. II is true that she has
become edcuated in one direction only,
and is not particularly well informed in
other respects. But is it not great gain |
that she should talk about her ferns and |
their wonderful method OF reproduction,
awakening her listeners interest and |
teaching them many things worth remen- |
bering rather than to dwell chiefly on her |
pains and privations' 1t Is many years |
since she was able TO step out OF doors.
but when you are with her you do not |
think of her as an invalid so interested |
and interesting is she.-Boston Tran

The American baggage car and the

In England. Every passenger must neeGs
look after his own baggage. The small

ger. and trunks (which are in England

could SEQ, they were very intelligent

however. to pay them for such service
Arrangements may be made by which
express companies will deliver your bag

Sable Anna Belle CurtIey Has Elmer
Campbell Arrested.
Yesterday Anna Belle Curtley, buXOm
colored woman living on the alley beside
Defenbach's livery-stable, appeared before
Squire Breckenridge and swOre out an affi-
davit charging Elmer Campbell with being
the father Of her unborn babe. Constable
Nanderburg arrested the man at Robbins i
Myers,s foundry, where he works, and
brought him up before the squire,
where Anna Belle confronted him.
Neither party seemed very badly
broken up over the affair, and the gay LO-
thario practically confessed to the soft i'm
peachment, but claimed in defense that
Anna Belle once before had a man up on
the same charge. Anna Belle took the
Squire into a private room to explain that
four years ago she did 20 to Squire Smith
for that purpose. but finally did not prose-
cute the case. The transaction for which
the arrest is made, is alleged to have oc-
CURED in May, during the lifetime OF Camp
bells wife, who died about three months
ago. Campbell was bound over 10 court in
the sum of S400, when, falling to give, he
was locked up in jail.
